As millions will lose driving jobs, understandably the focus is often on the negative economic impacts of self-driving vehicles. But they come with huge plusses, too. This article by neurosurgeon Jonathan Slotkin details those.
The data is in. Today’s self-driving vehicles are dramatically safer and cause fewer accidents than human drivers. Furthermore, they’ll keep getting safer and better, too.
I suspect as this sinks in, the day where manual driving is banned, or severely restricted will arrive. The same pressures that criminalized drunk-driving & no seatbelts will see to it.
The Data on Self-Driving Cars Is Clear. We Have to Change Course.
Here is where l/fuckcars and l/fuckai meet.
Insurance fees is what will drive adoption of self-driving cars.
I’ve been saying that for 5 years, people will have a “choice” of course but it’ll be a luxury to analog a car in 25 years–for many good reasons. The data since 2007, when the iPhone hit the market dramatically worsened—at an unprecedented and accelerating rate. Humans should not be driving when they are overworked, anxious or depressed as hell and insanely distracted with digital addiction.
The horrifying part is a fascist bitch who owns Tesla looks to have elbowed his way to having the best seat to potentially dominate self-driving.
First we need consumer grade self-driving capable vehicles with full LIDAR. Tesla’s implementation of camera based self-driving is physically incapable of adequately fulfilling that promise. I have seen Waymo Jags navigate extremely well the clusterfuck that are Austin streets. We need that but at a price people can afford.
or, like… not cars.
